Muster

[Reader0108598]

Hi I have a question Royal still does their drill outside correct. Is there a place to sit? Major back issues I cannot stand in one place for long.

Two muscle relaxers to Doans pills and two Advil keep me walking for an  hour.Standing like that no way! TY!

go to guest services when you board and let them know you cant stand for long. If ours is outside we check in with the muster staff and go find a spot inside to sit my mom at. We usually stay with her and they are ok with that.

Not all muster gatherings are outside.  It depends on the ship and your muster station.  Many times, the theatre, restaurants, and lounges are now used for muster locations.  You also no longer need to wear your life jacket to muster.

I’ve just sailed on Spectrum and my Muster was in the theatre so it definitely depends on the ship!

I have seen staff bring chairs out to those you cannot stand for too long.

was on Symphony and our muster station was at the pursers area.  No place to sit.  I advised that I need to sit and was moved to the opposite side from the passengers and given a chair to sit where other seated passengers were.

Last year on the Adventure, after I checked in with the muster captain, I advised that I couldn't stand for long and they sent me inside to the handicapped area.

We had to stand. I found a wall to lean against.

Have never stood outside of RCCL for muster.  I check in with one in charge and then ask where to report for mobility issues.  Usually sent to Boleros if one on ship where I also check in with one in charge.  Have my 13th Royal cruise in November.  Like you it is not possible for me to stand for Muster also can"t take the heat.  You will not have a problem.  Have never checked in with Guest Services as they do not conduct the Drill.
